We went to three vide greniers this morning, driving about 45 minutes southwest of Lectoure, then 25-30 minutes north of Lectoure. We bought a couple of picture frames, but mostly we enjoyed the scenery of the countryside, with rolling hills of fields planted in corn, sunflowers, wheat, hay, and beans, long corridors of plane trees lining the road, and we found a castle ruin. The roadways are tended, with no trash, and country homes are mostly made of stone, as are their barns and other farm buildings. Most country homes have gardens and all have flowers. Villages are very tidy.
